TOWIE's Jordan Brook fighting 'the hardest battle' amid 'inflammation and swelling of the brain'
The Only Way Is Essex alum Jordan Brook has been in and out of hospital for two weeks.
Jordan Brook admits he is fighting "the hardest battle" with his health.
The Only Way Is Essex alum has been in and out of hospital for the last fortnight, and although he has not revealed the exact nature of his illness, Jordan told fans he has "inflammation and swelling of the brain".
On Friday (20.03.26), the reality TV star, 31, shared a photo of his hand in hospital to his Instagram Stories and penned over it: "Day 10 in hospital.
"Hardest battle I've ever fought. Family is everything. Praying and hoping.
"Meds up. Brain is showing continued issues, swelling and pain. (sic)"
On Tuesday (17.03.26), Jordan said he was "praying for a miracle".
He posted a shot of himself lying in a hospital bed to his Instagram Stories and captioned it: "Another day in paradise.
"Praying for a better one or some sort of miracle."
Three days before that post, he told his Instagram followers that he had "inflammation and swelling of the brain."
Jordan wrote: "I’m awaiting results from a procedure.
"Once we get them more will be cleared up – what we do know is I have confirmed inflammation and swelling of the brain.
"A really scary time that reassures you we are all human.
"Hoping to rest up and be fighting fit and back home with my girl and bump, soon but at the minute seems a long way off.
"Thank you for everyone’s continued messages of love and support I’m sorry I haven’t got back to everyone I have been extremely weak.
"I also apologise to any work clients hate letting people down I will be back as soon as I can. (sic)"
Also on Saturday, Jordan's 36-year-old girlfriend, Geordie Shore alum Sophie Kasaei, shared that it was too risky for her to visit him in hospital because she is due to give birth to their first child in June.
Sophie - who, with Jordan, had a heartbreaking two-year fertility battle before they found out they were expecting a baby boy - shared an update to her Instagram Stories.
It read: "Jordan is still in the hospital and we are still waiting for answers whilst he is getting treatment and medication.
"If people are trying to contact him he’s unable to use his phone at the moment as he’s in pain and is mostly sleeping.
"His family are there with him doing a great job as it’s too risky for me and baby.
"He will be there for the next few days and hopefully be on the mend and back home to me and bump very soon. Lots of love. (sic)"
On March 9, Jordan - who has been with Sophie since November 2022 - revealed he had spent the weekend in hospital.
The barber shared a selfie of himself shirtless with ECG sensor patches on his chest to his Instagram Stories, and wrote over it: "Update: admitted to hospital. Awaiting CT scan and blood results. Not the weekend I had planned.
"Again, I'm sorry to all of my clients bare with me. I hate letting you down."
Jordan returned home on March 8, and Sophie updated their fans with an update on her Instagram account.
She posted a photo of herself with Jordan in bed in the background with the caption: "What a scary few days it’s been seeing the person you love so ill.
"I’m so glad he’s home and safe. Bump is growing and going to give daddy cuddles all night. Night world."
